Hello people!
Here are some screenshots from the New Water Scen Node for Irrlicht I'm curently working on.(not' yet ready needs some tooning for the constants in the ecuation bla bla bla...)

hope you like it.

That's looking really nice

good work!

@Vermeer: thnx for all that!

it also means we'll have to double-think the levels we create in order to get dettached meshes wherever we plan to have a shadow getting casted, lol. I tried the "subdivide" command but all it did was triangulate my mesh, so I still gotta try your method, and yes, applying a gaussian blur to the lightmaps sounds very interesting as well. Hey tio, que mata de conocimiento que eres!

@katoun: really nice screenshots. The first shot looks like a terrain node with 2 layer blending material, but then (and correct me if I'm wrong) the other screenshots show the ripples get affected and go in the direction they physically should. So what you want is a physics-responsive water node (like those in UT2k3-2k4)? or simply a wate rnode with better wave animation?

anyway, impressive, very very impressive... and cool

Alexl and Vermeer were right!

I thought the tga's were smooth (I thought they'd be, being 512x512) but I just zoomed in and all the jaggies immediately showed up!!!

so AlexL and Vermeer, the gaussian blur trick is one of the ways to go:

it looks and feels better.

This is Irrlicht 0.9 running in GameMaker

with lmts lightmaps (recognise the level anyone?), and some (crappy) bumpmaps on the gun model.

Afecelis:
The frist screenshot is not a terrain!!!
Initialy I piked 4 vertices from the water and draged it up and then released it and that is the first frame.
Next the water goes it's normal corse , it falls down and generates waves

The idea is that I have just created a IWaterSceneNode witch hase a water_drop(f32 x,f32 y,f32 depht) added witch 'makes' a drop on the coordonate (x,y) on the water and then waves come along.
Just need to make it work.

katoun:
will your water also have movement when nothing drops in to?

bami:
it's a deathmatch map from Halo isn't it? have you rebuild it by yourself or have you more or less stolen it?

bami · Post by **bami** » Sun Apr 10, 2005 8:29 am

its rebuilt by myself (but with a reference model that was stolen), so some things arent scaled properly/arent textured properly/arent lightmapped properly

but im getting there

@ katoun : whoa i thought it just was a slick animation or something, but this is simply amazing

2Afecelis:

Did you use Photoshop to smoothing lightmaps, or some kind of 3DSMAX tools?

afecelis · Post by **afecelis** » Mon Apr 11, 2005 1:33 am

I added a blur filter to the tgas in the "images" folder before exporting to My3d with embedded lightmaps. It made things better.

2Afecelis:
I got it

2Katoun:
Now we'll have water like in Ogre? Very cool!!!
When you planing to do release of your WaterSurface Scene Node?

2ZDimitor:
Well is king of like the water example in Ogre only this one is inside the Engine not outside(like in Ogre) and it is mutch clear written

.Orcourse my first test was a total mess(and the source and the result).Now it is realy nice.
But first I must find out how to test when some pirticles hit the water and were (this is for my water demo) and I don't know how yet.

ZDimitor · Post by **ZDimitor** » Mon Apr 11, 2005 8:24 am

Why don't you create method hitWater(x,y) or somthing like that? You don't need to find who and where hitting your water inside you Water Scene Node, you can do it in other class CWaterWavesAnimator, from which method hitWater(x,y) can be called.
